Abstract
An aquatic system is provided for use with an object. The aquatic system includes: a parameter detector being configured to detect a parameter of the object and to output an activation signal based on the detected parameter; an inflatable bladder being configured to inflate with a gas to displace a volume of water when the object is in the water; a memory having instructions stored therein; and a stabilization controller being configured execute the instructions to cause the inflatable bladder to inflate so as to establish horizontal buoyancy of the object based on the activation signal.
Claims9
A method of using an aquatic system for use with an object, said method comprising:
- detecting, via a parameter detector, a parameter of the object;
- outputting, via the parameter detector, an activation signal based on the detected parameter;
- causing, via a stabilization controller configured to execute instructions stored on a memory, an inflatable bladder, configured to inflate with a gas to displace a volume of water when the object is in the water, to inflate so as to establish horizontal buoyancy of the object based on the activation signal.
